Victory Habit
Something New
For Aggie Team
Braver Slogan Cheery
Reaction to Years
Of Oregon Triumphs
Ey JOE PIGNEY
"Boat Oregon—it's a habit!”
Tlio slogan of the Beaver school,
so bniRduc and confident, is apt to
Joe Pigney
lip interpreted as
an attempt, to for
t i fy a iv a n i n g
courage. What a
boomerang this
effrontery will bo
to the Aggies if
Oregon w ins at
Corvallis next
Saturday!
Undoubtedly the
Beavers believe
victory over Ore
gon a wholly me
chanical and in
™ evirauie process. jsur me wcnroor
gridmen feel sure that the victory
habit lias not hern over-learned by
the big Orange eleven.
Success stimulates similar reac
tions in nil tiie “new-rich.” For
three years the Beavers have had
unusual and admirable success in
defeating the Webfoots. Such a
long string of victories over the
traditional rival is a new experi
ence for the Beavers. It has
startled them into tiencvmg urogon
no longer capable of winning.
After Oregon’s powerful showing
this year, perhaps the Aggies them
selves are beginning to wonder if
the strength of their last three vic
tories is sufficient to bring lipme
honors liis year. Chances arc the
Beavers have been assured by now
that they will have to take more
than just confidence t'o Belt field
when they meet the Webfoots.
Tiie Beavers can hardly be criti
cized for such enthusiasm over their
4 series of wins. It is unusual and
one of tho first real opportunities
tiie Aggies have bad to register
happiness. The Beavers have en
dured so much gloom from Oregon
football teams that three victories
fust be indeed a great source of
joy.
Since tiie meeting of tiie two
teams in 1897, Oregon State’s ad
vantage is comparatively slight.
Unfit lhe 1925 season, tiie Beavers
had won only four games out of 52
played. Oregon had won 18 games
and six have ended in ties.
A three year period is the longest
Oregon has gone without an Aggie
victory. The Beavers, however, are
accustomed to going even ten years
without turning back tiie Webfoots.
So, all in all, three victories in
three years is quite a remarkable
showing for the Corvallis team.
O. S. C. is rated at least a six
point favorite in Saturday’s game.
The Beavers stand higher in the
Pacific coast conference list than
does the AVebfopt. Oregon lias won
but one league battle and the Aggies
t two. Botli schools have played
Washington ami the result gives tiie
Beavers a two point margin over
Oregon.
Following the Aggie game Oregon
will play Montana at Homecoming,
November 24, and then goes to Los
Angeles to meet tiie Tie las on No
vember 29. The Webfoots’ chances
of finishing higher than .500 in the
percentage column are blight.
In tiie Christmas holidays the
team sails to the Hawaiian Islands
to play two games. This will mark
tiie second time an Oregon football
team has journeyed to the mid
Pacific islands.

The frosh second team will meet

stringers have played one game this

game with Southern Oregon Normal,
at Ashland.
Although the freshman football
team has already defeated the Ag
gie rooks, 27 to 0, this season, when
the two teams take the field, Nov
ember 1(5, the outcome of -tlic game i
will be very much in doubt.
The main object of the freshman
grid season is to develop men for
the varsity, Billy Reinhart, head |
coach, states, and consequently the j
team may undergo some major;
changes as to personnel before next
Friday. For the last three nights'
the squad lias had plenty of action.
Each session a group lias been pick
ed to oppose the varsity and the
remainder have had their practice
on the regular freshman field.
D.zr.ey Is Back
Clarance Dizney, who was hurt
in the first game of the season, is
returning to the backfield. He is
working with the first string. Steve
Fletcher and A1 Browne are the
only two backfield men who have
played all the games this season.
Raymond Neveau, signal caller, did
not play in the first game with
Monmouth Normal, but has occupied
the first string berth ever since.
“Moeo” Forsta, the center from
Astoria, has the center position
cinched, having played there all
year. Coach Reinhart lias another
good center ui Shirley “Nick”
Carter. He is a brother of the
"Nick” Carter who played for Ore

Reading Public Degraded by Crime
Publicity9 Says Professor of Law
Journalistic Code of Ethics
Ilchl Remedy for Evil
Crime publilitv lias a general de
grading, effect upon the reading
public. Monstrous •crimes are often
directly traceable to others of a
like nature through the publicity
of sensational or yellow journalism.
Such is the opinion of Fowler V.
Harper, professor of criminal law
in the university.
“To be sure I realize that it is
only the tawdriest type of journal
ism that relies upon a morbid fel
ony for its front page banner,” Mr.
Ilarper said, “but the truth is that
this cheap journalism, especially in
metropolitan centers, is so general
that it detracts from the dignity of
the entire profession, ami the press,
ns an institution, suffers mightily
therefrom. The most unfortunate,
but most obvious thing about the
whole matter, is that the fouler the
crime, the bigger the heads and tho
more sensational the handling.”
The phenomenon of sensational
crime publicity' is a relic, or “hang
over” from pioneer days in this
country when court sessions fur
nished one of the few centers of in
terest and amusement, according to
Mr. Harper.
“In the days when the country
was largely agricultural and sparse
ly settled,” he said, “amusement
was so scarce that ‘court day’ was
one of the most thrilling events of
the community. With the growth

Tryout Race Yesterday
In heavy wraps because of the

ran the two and seven-tenths utile

course yesterday
afternoon in a t ry
out to select 10
men for the meet
with O. S. ('. No

The Hill broth

Coach “Bill”
Hayward timed tlic tenth man and
expressed satisfaction at^ the result.
He says the team is much better
than it was last year. O. ,S. 0. boat
Oregon last year because Oregon
had only 1 men to put up against,
their 20 men, and had to spot them
four places.
“Bill” Rides in Car
As the runners left the track for
the streets, “Bill” jumped into his
car and cut across to the top of the
hill at University and Twenty-first,
arriving just in time to meet the
Hill brothers, Ed Jensen, Hill Winter,
and a couple others. The 18 com
petitors were strung out over a
whole block. “Bill” waited for the
last man, and then cut over to
Twenty-second and Alder, meeting
again the leaders, who had come up
from llilyard street and were start
ing back over the hill. Ho shouted
a few words of encouragement, and
stepped on the gas.
Hayward got back to the field
just as the runners came into view
through the fog up Beech street.
Clarence Hill was leading and his
brother was right tit his heels.
“Bill” has been trying to make one
of them admit being a little inferior
to the other, but has never suc

Emerald Ptits On
All-Star Contest
Pick Best Coast Football
Team, Mouth's Pass
For the benefit of those who have
not succeeded in being funny
enough to crash the Emerald's
" Duck Soup" column, the paper is
starting a new predicting contest—
with aft added incentive this time.
All you have to do is to pick an
all-coast alt-star football first and
second team that coincides with the
one selected by the Oregon Sports
writers association. As a reward
you will receive a month's free
pass to the McDonald or Hex
theatres.
Although the contest will not be
decided until later in the month,
guessers and deviuers with their
eyes on the long-time pass are be
ing warned in ample time to start
thinking who they will put on the
teams.
Every loyal Oregon rooter will
want to put Kitzmiller and Stadel
man and a few more Webfooters on
his first string lineup, but in order
to win the prize they must pick as
nearly as possible the same teams
throughout as the professional
sportswriters.
Later in the month ballots will
be printed with blanks to fill in
the all-star selections. Watch for
them!

Fleischmann Yeast
Project Hein ft Studied
Richard R. Roedun, graduate of the
university in June, and holder of the
fellowship given last spring by t]p)
Floisehinann Yeast company, is now
working in his laboratory in Mc
Clure hall to isolate the material
which stimulates yeast growth. The
Fleischmann company’s largest fac
tory at I’eekskill, New Yory, turns
out ninety tons of yeast a day, and
the company’s interest in scientific
research and yeast study prompted
the giving of the fellowship.
Manufactured yeast is a culture
grown with beet molasses, the resi
due left after the sugar has been
taken out of the beet juice.
Dr. Roger J. Williams, associate
professor of chemistry, is supervis
ing Mr. Roehm's work. Dr. Wil
liams held the first fellowship giv
en by the Fleischmann company at
Chicago University in 1918. Ho was
research chemist for the company
one year before coming to Oregon,
and through (lose relations with
the Fleischmann concern, the fel
lowship was given here this year.
